Enhance Preview to Display 360 Photos
« on: March 24, 2024, 03:26:38 PM »
Greetings,

I realize that 360 photography is a small market - but it would be nice for PM to be able to view 360 photos in preview mode using a shortcut or something.

Thanks,
Mark

Can you zip up a sample file so I can investigate the format of the photo?

Use the 'Attachments and other options' link when you're composing your reply to this message and there you'll be able to upload your zip file.

Thanks,

Hi Kirk,
Attached is a zip with two jpegs at two different resolutions.  I can view the 360 photos as flat equirectangular images in PM, but a 360 viewer would be a nice addition. I currently use Ricoh's Theta application to view them on a PC, tablet or phone (and they look great in a VR headset).

PM will still be a big help copying the photos, renaming, captioning and organizing them.  I then upload them to a 360 site (momento360) to share collections with friends and family.

Thanks for taking a look!
Regards,
Mark
